Changing Package Switching with Serviceguard Commands
You can change package switching behavior either temporarily or
permanently using Serviceguard commands. To temporarily disable
switching to other nodes for a running package, use the cmmodpkg
command. For example, if pkg1 is currently running, and you want to
prevent it from starting up on another node, enter the following:
cmmodpkg -d pkg1
This does not halt the package, but will prevent it from starting up
elsewhere.
You can disable package switching to particular nodes by using the -n
option of the cmmodpkg command. The following prevents pkg1 from
switching to node lptest3:
cmmodpkg -d -n lptest3 pkg1
To permanently disable switching so that the next time the cluster
restarts, the change you made in package switching is still in effect,
change the auto_run flag in the package configuration file, then re-apply
the configuration. (See “Reconfiguring a Package on a Running Cluster”
on page 394.)
